Stronglandtractor

Armstrong Tractor Company AKA Strongland Products the maker of Strongland Tractors.
The Drive pumps were White Hydraulic Variable displacement Pump. At the time it was an off the shelf item as were most of the parts accept the Frame, Sheetmetal, wireing harness, and the axles. These were all manufactured. The first Strongland Tractors were nearly exact copies of a never released Speedex Model. The Drive Axle was a carry over from that unreleased model which was slightly different than the old speedex. The mower deck was always a problem, it to was a carryover.

The Larger Models with the 4" Frame rails were the better models with 540RPM Rear PTO available, a few even had cruise control. The Tractor itself was very robust and over built.

Lack of marketing and funds killed the tractor and the company.

There were even 4 Wheel Drive Tractor designs, and Utility Vehicle designs that never came to be....ARMSTRONG TRACTOR CO. INC. BEGAN BUSINESS ON 02/09/1995 WITH 100% STOCK OWNED BY ROBERT J. GLORIOSO & BRIAN K. CROWLEY. SPEEDEX WAS BOUGHT OUT AND MOVED USING THE LAST NEW PROTOTYPE OF SPEEDEX AS THE BASE FOR THE NEW TRACTOR. ALTHOUGH THE SPEEDEX NAME WAS USED AT THE BEGINNING FOR THE NEW COMPANY THE NAME CHANGED TO STRONGLAND AND PRODUCTION CAME FAST WITH THE NEW 1995 #1832 & #1872 MODEL TRACTORS. FOLLOWING THE DEATH OF MR. GLORIOSO, ATTEMPTS WERE MADE TO SELL THE COMPANY, WHICH FAILED. PARTNERSHIP WITH ANOTHER MANUFACTURER FOR NEW PRODUCT ALSO FAILED WITH THE SHIPMENT OF 50 TRACTORS OVERSEAS THAT WAS NEVER PAID FOR. WITH TUFF TIMES THE COMPANY MOVED TO SEVERAL SMALLER SITES. FINAL PRODUCT WAS UNDER CONTROL OF ACCRO TOOL COMPANY. ARMSTRONG TRACTOR NEVER WENT BANKRUPT BUT WAS FINALLY DISSOLVED TO SATISFY CREDITORS WITH THE INVENTORY BEING SOLD OFF TO NEW ALEXANDER TRACTOR IN 2008. MUCH WAS SCRAPPED OR SOLD AND THEN FINAL INVENTORY SOLD. 
NOW JUST PERHAPS A SMALL "EMBER" STILL EXISTS OF THAT TRUE AMERICAN LEGEND HAROLD POND'S DREAM AS THE FACTORY FILES STILL EXISTS FILLED WITH MOST OF THE DRAWINGS AND PROCEDURES AWAITING SOMEONE TO BUILD UPON. MANY OF TODAYS TRACTORS ARE UNDERBUILT WITH SHORT LIFE EXPECTANCY AND OVERPRICED FAR ABOVE THE COMMON MANS WALLET MANY FOLKS CHOOSE THE TRACTORS OF YESTERYEAR.
